答案与解析：

1，when/if.考查连词。此处为时间或条件状语从句。

2，probably.考查副词。副词修饰动词作状语。

3，becau.考查连词。原因状语从句。

4，did.考查特殊句式---倒装句。根据语境，此处要说的情况跟前句类似，故用“so...”倒装句

式，意为“……也……”。这里填助动词did代替前面的动词incread.

5，sharper.考查形容词比较级。根据空格前的even可知此处需要用比较级，故填sharper.

6，smuggling.考查非谓语动词。V-ing作宾语。

7，on.考查介词。表示“在电话/广播/电视/网络上”,需用介词on.

8，irresponsible.考查词性变换。根据语境，此处需要用提示词responsible的反义词。有些以

“r/l”开头的形容词，变反义词时，若以r开头，则在原形前加“ir”如regular规则的，规律

的--irregular不规则的，不规律的;若以l开头，则在原形前加“il”，如：legal合法的--illegal

非法的。

9，legally.考查副词。副词修饰动词作状语。

10，it.考查代词。it在此处作形式宾语。

【答案】1－4CABC

【语篇解读】来自东非的年轻女孩MonaMus创立了芬兰第一家跨文化模特经纪公司，

意在为黑人模特提供更多的工作机会，她也希望能通过自己的力量，改变模特世界白人一统

天下的局面。

1．ItcanbeinferredthatinFinlandthereare________.

A．enoughadultmodelsB．manyEastAfricanmodels

C．fewEastAfricanmodelsD．enoughchildmodels

【解析】推理判断题。第二段谈到，广告商对有色人种模特的兴趣增加很慢。年轻人和

儿童模特的需求已经很大，而芬兰有色人种的成年女性模特却为数不多。MonaMus就是为

数不多的有色人种的成年女性模特中的一个，她本身是东非人。由此可推知，在芬兰东非模

特并不多见。【答案】C

2．Whichhastheclostmeaningtotheunderlinedword“bluntly”？

A．Directly.B．Frequently.C．Exactly.D．Indetail.

【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“Blackisblack；milkcoffeeismilkcoffee.”可知，

在模特的世界里，黑色就是黑色，咖啡色就是咖啡色。由此可知，体貌特征向来清晰可见，

即以非常直接的方式描述体貌特征。【答案】A

3．WhoaremorepopularintheadvertisingworldinAnnamariVänskä'sview?

A．Blackmodels.B．Whitemodels.

C．Mixed­bloodmodels.D．Yellowmodels.

【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段“shesaystheadvertisingworldisstillwhite.‘Youcanfind

ommercialadvertising，dark­skinnedmodelsare

lighterandhavemoreWesternfeaturesthaninfashionstories’”可知，媒体研究员安娜玛丽·万斯

卡说：广告世界仍然是白人的天下。在更倾向艺术类的杂志上你可以找到黑人模特。而商业

广告里，黑人模特肤色往往浅得多，而且比时尚故事里的模特拥有更多西方特征。”由此可知

在广告界，白人模特更受欢迎。【答案】B

4．Whatcanbeknownfromthepassage?

A．ThebusinessofMus'scompanyisnotgood.

B．MusexpectsFinnishcompaniestoreduceFinnishmodels'workingpressure.

C．Kupiainen­GroundstroemthinksthatsomedayFinnswilllikedark­skinnedmodels.

D．MustupthemodellingagencytobecomeapioneerinFinland.

【解析】推理判断题。最后一段谈到：某芬兰模特经纪公司总监拉伊拉·斯奈尔曼说在二

十世纪八十年代，“芬兰应有尽有，包括广告里的黑人模特。”自从经历了九十年代经济萧条

之后，模特市场便一直处于“漫漫无期的白人潮流”之中。斯奈尔曼坦言她想念“肤色大拼盘”

时期的芬兰。那么，跨文化主义是否也会改变芬兰人的审美呢？Kupiainen­Groundstroem相信

这样的改变正在缓慢发生。由此可推知，Kupiainen­Groundstroem认为有一天芬兰人会喜欢

黑皮肤的模特。【答案】C
